Post #4 from Lindsay

Well, We've survived "open house week" We took some fantastic pictures on Thursday for the house listing with Cande. She wanted to come in the afternoon to get the lighting just right. Cande is a fantastic photographer, and it was great to document the house in such neat and clean condition. I have to admit I really like living in a clutter-free zone. It makes me appreciate why we bought this house in the first place. It is an 1890's house that is by no means perfect or square but it has some amazing personality and soul. It was built when Interlaken was at its height of prosperity. We live on a street called Railroad Avenue, and by no coincidence. The street terminates where there once was a railroad stop. Our house was one of the nicest on the street and that is due to its proximity to the railroad stop.


Wednesday, Cande held a realtor's open house at our home complete with wine tasting, cheese, and bread. Another Realtor had a client in the area and they decided to stop by and do a walk through while Cande was here. We also had someone come for a showing on Saturday so we are doing well. Cande held a public open house on Sunday but no one came. The weather wasn't very nice. We will see what tomorrow holds, maybe there is an offer on the horizon...

Interlaken Open House, Sunday

So here it is, Sunday, the day of our first public Open House at the sweetest Victorian at 3695 Railroad Ave in the Village of Interlaken.

BUT-- Not only is it / raining-- but it's blowing, the wind whirling and whipping through the trees! (see photo).

But I am in heaven on the porch, with wine, cheese, lemonade, crackers and other goodies. I know it's hard to get out today. But it's just such a pleasure to be here!

So, come on out if you can, until 1:00 this afternoon.
